The Press and Banner, Bv W, W. and W. R, Bradley. I' HUGH WILSON, Edltor.l I ABBEVILLE, S. C. | *#-Publlshed every Wednesdp at 82 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1907. AN EVENING OF PLEASURE. Hon. W. H. Hand DelightM an Abbeville Audience with the Force of His Facia Hud the Humor of H1n ! Speech. ] Prof. W.H.Hand ol the 8outb Carolina University was In town last Tuursday night. He bad beed advertised to speak In the Court Room on the subject of schools, and tbe importance of having better school bouses and better teachers. InourscboolB he saw little , to praise and mucb to ridicule or to crltlolse unfavorably. His objeot seemed to provoke us to greater effort to build finer school houses which would add attractiveness to tbe neighborhood, and attractiveness to tbe neighborhood would Increase the market value of tbe land thereabout. But he didn't tell us bow tbe peo- ' pie could keep tbelr pretty teachers from marrying. A majority of teachers marry. He said their average term of teaching was four years, if we had been so inclined we could have told him something about bow we used to love school teachers, and we oould have Informed blm that some of them were very particular about wbom tbey married. In speaking of school bouses be reminded a* of tbe educational Institution Id wblch this editor received 61s llterarj training. Tbat acbool bouse was built of logs. To let In light a log was cut out of one of tbe walls. A long plank on tbe outside extended the wbole length of tbe opening. It hung on binges and when the weatber was too bad. the prop was taken out, aDd it came down against tbe bouse, cl >slna tbe opening agalDSi cold and light. On the Inside another plank extended the wbole length of tbe opening? (10 or 12 feet)?That plank was used as a writ- , lng desk. We didn't have nice desks and seals as tbey have now at tbe graded school In Abbeville. We bad two slabs from a saw , mill. Into each of these slabs were bored four auger boles. Pegs were driven Into tbem and these pegs served as bench legs. Tbe boys, seven In number, eat on one bench?tbe two girls sat on tbeotber. The teacher bad a spill bottom chair and sat near tbe fireplace. Each scholar In turn Btood before tbe teacher and 1 "ould" his lesson. When we bad "speMs" tbe whole school lined op and each scholar spelled a word, or attempted to spell a, word when bis or her time came. Some were "bead" and some were "loot." One day only v two scbolars came, and one of tbe boy olalmed next day tbat be was "next to bead." Tbe fire place was wide enough for a bed 1 Tbe cblmney was bulll of mud and sticks. Wben tbe weatber was cold oar bencbe* w-'**' i were moved close to tbe fire. The teacher received 910 a month and bis , board from a rich patron of tbe school, wltb tbe understanding tbat be might admit poor children. This editor was not a son of tbe man who hired tbe teacher. Tbe school was not a blgb school such as we have today. Webster's blue back spelling book, any old book tbat tbe child bad served asa reader, and 8mliey'sarltbmetlc,as far as I now recollect, made np tbe text books of tbat Institution, I worked a little In addition subtraction, multiplication and division, and 1 learned to say tbe multiplication table. Prof. W. H. Hand said tbat goats, for part ol tbe time, occupied one of the school houses ol which be was speaking. We bad no goats in oar school. We had nothing worse than bogs. They didn't come Into tbe houseteltber. They slept under the bouce. The name of thai teacher was Robert Pennel.and he was a good man to the children. He had arrived at the age when people call an unmarried man an "old baohelor." He bad au old ball-eye watch, wblcb be would sometimes sbow us, tbat we might admire It That school was closed more tbau fifty yeanago, and tbe teacher went to other fields o usefulness. He has no doubt long since gone to bis rew?rd. Since writing the above we learn tbat Mr. Fennal is still living, bis bome being a' Nettleton in Mississippi. His nleoe, Mien Janle Pennal, who is book-keeper and typ setter In the Ptess and Banner office, has Just returned from Mississippi, wbltber she went on a visit to Miss Maggie Pennal. She left Abbeville many years ago, and has been twice married. Miss Pennal InformB us tbat her aunt is lo feeble health, and she also Informs us that her uncle, Mr. Robert Pennal, is still living and In good health. We bed often enquired for blm, but never beard a word of blm since the war, until ibis week. When the war closed he went Into business and afterward became a rich man, aod If rlcb today. He bas been ma-rled twice. He is the fatberof five living children, each ol wbom be set op to a farm on tbelr marriage. You nodoobt tbocuht tbat bis salary wa* small, but it was a princely estate compared to the Belary paid to B. P. Hughes or tbis county. He received only 380 and bis board. ' He saved SCO of It, and, like Mr. Pennal, he afterwards became a rlcb man. Before the war the estate of B. P. Hughes was estimated at 550,000. As a little boy, this editor loved Mr. Pennal and be has had during all these years a warm plaoe In bis heart for bts old teaober. As far 1 as we now recollect be never mistreated bts #..S\ little scholar but once. That unklndness occurred In the fact tbat be came to Abbeville a good many years ago, and went.away without speaking to tr.e man who would have 1 been more delighted to see blm tbao any 1 other man on top of tbe ground, In the Bible we are admonished to forgive our ene mles ever so many times a day. but If that . ' holy Book ever hinted at tbe necessity for forgiving our friends, we have overlooked < tbe tact. Unless Mr. Pennal can show nt that tbe good book Instructs us to forgive our friends, be will have to bunt us up on tbe last great day for squaring accounts for deedr done in tbe body. Wbtle Prof. Hand was speaking we tbougbt we would be willing to give bim $b. If bt would make tbat speech before a good bousr of our peopld, and. instead ol speaking on school bouses, would speak ou belter Couri bouses. Tbe same speech would do, wltb slight change of verbiage. Tbe speaker kept up the Interest of hie bearers for more than an bour. He didn't toucb on tbe Importance of being born rlgbt. He might have made an eloquent appeal to * children to Belect a good father and mother, i (Tbe speaker didn't say parents but once, and bis pronunciation escaped our attention.) If a boy or a girl Is born with a limited amount of brains, or with brains of an inferior quality, all tbe education that can be stuffed Into bis bead will not make e great man or a great woman. You can't rq,ake a silver pitcher out ol a pewter mug You mny rub and you may Bcrub.bul a scrub ? will still be a scrub. \ Education developes tbe man. II be Is good be Is better able to be a useful citizen. If he ( Is bad, tben be Is better able to do mischief ' Education puts men and women in tbe ( blgber walks of Ufa. You don't often see a 1 man with an educated brain handling pick and shove), neither do you often ttnd an 6 lucated band throwing dirt. Ibe man with ( an eduoated band, often makes more out ol It than tbe eduoated brain can win. I Mr. Hand ts one or me rormost men in edu- J o&tloaal circles In the state and Is full oi 1 energy and zbaI in the good work. Possessing a handsome personality, a cultured mind t and a pleasing address, he gave our people fc an ev enlng of pleasure. - . SK fife ' ' \ . . - r- , We Need a Park. Hon. Jamas Jones?and that la not bis, lame-In passing through different streets of b mr city, not so long ago was "struct with . to Lhe beauty of thewood? In front of Cotbran's.' 11 We told blm that was Klugb's Park, private property, and that the town had no control of It. He then said the town ought to own it. A little expenditure of money would make that one of the most attractive parks to be found In this part of tne country. Swings for the children ought to be there. Benches for lover* should be found under the trees. Restltg places for all sort* and conditions of we&rltd and tired people ought to be furnished. Children could play In the purling rill. Thirsty folk of all sizes and conditions could satiate their drink with the cool water of the bubbling spring. The shade of the trees would furnlBh a safe retreat from the summer's sun, and a pavilion could he erected as a refuge la time of storm. All these things together would furnish a health giving assembly ground for old and young. For lovers it would furnish the beBt ol tryi-tlng places. The tired home wile could here And a place ol rent f om household cares and mother's anxiety. The voice of the growling husband would not be beard, and the nolsa of the beloved little boy driving a nail Into the door fetDOb would not distress or annoy. The cheerr..i \1? U i ??? ?#..

N. B?Mr. S. F. Cromer, oil readlDg tbe above, said tbat If Judge Klugh would give tbe land to Abbeville for a park It would br worth more to blm than to any body else. Tbe town would Improve and beautify It, the people would be happy, when Judge Klugb's name, like Ben Adnem's, would lead all tbe rest. Cement Sidewalk. A gentleman from another Sjate whom we shail ca 1 8mlth, betftuse bis name Is not Smith, said tbe most notlcable shortcoming about Abbeville was tbe lack of cement sidewalks from the railroad stations to tbe public squaie. He said a mud sidewalk. In sucb weather as this, did not favarably Impress (be stranger. Iu ull of this tbe Press and Banner full} concurs. Abbeville Ready to move.

Carwlle, wbo a 1 few years ago moved to Atlanta, Tel., tells of nonce of bis experiences In the "wild and 1 woolly west." At tbe time of writing he was la the midst of tbe Cboo Taw people eating at their tables and sleeping nnder4belr roofs. He says be has never know n more hospitable people.. It will be recalled tbat tbe Choc Taws are tbe wealthiest people In tbe world In proportion to tbelr number and their weallb 1b well distributed. Hod. J. D. Carwlle has been buying up lumber fitim tbe Indians. His brother Mr. Wi:l Carwlle has organized a-large lumber Company, and It Is proposed to buy up one 1 hunored million feet of yellow pine, twenty mil Ions feet of which bas been secured. Mr. t Jifl Carwlle is one of bis most active agents and it goes wltbout saying thai he is render- ( ing bis brother valuable assistance. It Is ( learned from reliable sources, tbat Mr. Will ( Carwlle is making a fortune In his adoptfd home He netted over $42,010 in two real 1 estate deals last year, and be Is ever reach- T idg out for more. These young men belong to a large and In- c fluentlal family In this county. Tbe boys oi ? this branch of tbe family are now about equally divided between this State ?Dd Texas. Dr. Carwlle, Mr. Laurence Carwlle md Mr. A. F. Carwlle, Jr., have remained with us while Mr. Will Carwlle, Hod. J.. D. Carwlle and another brother are In Texas.

Tbe Legislative term Is about to eome to a jIokp. We venture to suggest tbe following: First?Kuln tbe cotton mills and oonflscate tbe property. Tbeyglve profitable employment to many persons wbo ought, to be on tbe 'arms. Their absence from tbe farms reduces ,be production, and their presence in tbe nilis Increases the consumption of cotton, ruese two factors have a tendency to raise jj ;he price of cottor, wLich encourages extravagance. Second?I ay a beavy band on tbe oil mills, rney, like the ootion mills, give employment x> people wboougbt to rent land. But their jbtef crime lies Id the fact that they have.*5 al.-ed tbe price of aped from 10 cents to 80 j seats a bushel. This Increased price of seed Ifl las a tendency to make spendtbrlfts of tbe | alsers of tbe seed. . 6 Tblrd?Pass a marriage license law, and | place tbe price of license bo high that poor ^ jeople cannot marry. ? j Fourth?Repeal tbe lien law, so tbat only loh folk may gel credit, and then make It a p penitentiary offense for any merchant, C > inker, or other person to lend money to any j; enter. This would benefit the land owner, v ind practically make slaves of all poor men, a vhlte and black. Fifth?Pass a Joint resolution Justifying or * >xplalnlug the conslsiency of prohibitionists v vho Join the saloon element In their efforts .o destroy tbe dlspensjry to restore tbe p lceflse system. i __ h E Glr'n nrr like arrowt?They can't be gotten | ifl without t>eai8 ..

For a time after the operation he teemed to be doing well, but pneumonia set n and the end came quickly.When Mr. Harris came to Abbeville he worked for Mr. H. M. Hill nntll 1880 when be was employed In the store of Bradley & Thomson. In 1832, be began to wo k In the store of 2apt. L. W. White. He remained In tbe eir. >loy of Cape. White until tbe organization of be cotton mill company in 1806, when he sas elejted seoretary. His efficiency as >ookkeeper and his ability for business, so m pressed the board that after the reslgnaion of Mr. Baliey In 1903, he was elected resident of.the mill.

As a renuit >f bla good work, tbe market value of tbe itock bai advanced from 860 to 805 a share. Take him all id all, Mr. Harria was odo of .be most remarkable men tbat ever came to \bbevlll1*.
